High Protein Low Fat Foods?

[mnmlst 249]

So, what do you eat everyday?

I am weaning off liquids and moving to solids. If I get Protein, I seem to also get a lot of fat. So I'm wondering, what kind of foods do you eat to keep the calories and fat low, but the protein high?

Any tips would be great! Thanks!

It's my non-expert opinion (as someone who has lost 112 pounds and maintained for the last 6 months) that you don't need to worry about fat. Fat is not the enemy.

High Protein, low carb is your answer.

cheese, eggs, almonds, beef Jerky, lean meats, fatty meats (within reason!), hummus, greek yogurt (if you can stand it)...

Lots of great choices out there, but I would urge you to eat REAL food. When you cut the fat, sugar is added. Sugar is not your friend. Your portions are so limited now, the fuller fat will keep you full and satisfied longer.

Research it. You will see that most high Protein diets don't count fat, too. I know it's weird, but it works.

So true, I was going to put in fat free Mayonnaise on my tuna yesterday. I watched this new documentary called "Fed Up" (released earlier this year) which highlights how much sugar and extra processed ingredients are in fat free or low fat foods. Its more of an attack on Big food for sweetening us to death. I had no idea how much corporate influence there was over school lunches. I will not let my child drink chocolate milk again (or at least not everyday during school lunch), that is for sure.

Anyway, the film does get you into the practice of looking at food labels. And yes, the fat free mayonnaise was loaded with sugar!

sure.

My mainstays for meat based Protein are pork loin and chicken breast (or a whole rotissery chicken - Sam's club has them for $5, can't beat that!) My diet is pretty simple, it mainly consists of baked pork loin mixed with lentils, onions, garlic and beef bullion.
